Mixed Media Birthday cards

I was testing out colour combo's and a layout on an old book page,

for a canvas i'm planning.

Once I was finished I tossed the page to one side.

 When I was tidying up I thought 

'i can't throw that away!'

as I do....

  (i'm not very good at throwing stuff out)

  I thought of pasting it into my Art journal,

but decided to make it into birthday cards instead.

 (click on the pictures for a larger view)

I cut the page in two and pasted them each
onto a peice of craft board. 

Each card is roughly 10x15cm.

I inherited a whole load of Letraset numbers and letters

from my father-in-law, 

and decided to use some of them on the cards, 

they are great, so easy to use.

Then added a strip of washi tape. 

Otherwise I used structure paste, wall reinforcing tape,

gesso, Dylusion spray inks, 

a circle stencil and some old punchenella.

Lastly I drew a line around the edge with 

a fineline pen.

DA-NAAA

 two mixed media birthday cards.

ALL FUN AT THE FARM!
